The person tasked with auditing the government was just awarded a $2 billion government contract.

It’s a conflict of interest.

Musk has a $225m “Platinum” card. He owns Trump. He has carte blanche. Blackmail. I’d love to know the details.

I would say it's blatant corruption.

muscleguybd83.bsky.social•58 days ago

Same with democrats they are making millions of all these back door channels with USAID and other NGOs. How can a public servant like Nancy Pelosi be work over 1,200 times her annual salary. Its called blatant corruption. Its all around us and on every side.

ryanburchett.bsky.social•58 days ago

There are no Republicans in Congress who don't take corporate PAC money. There are Democrats who don't. AOC doesn't even have stocks. So, there is a difference between the two parties. Justice Democrats are mandated not to take it. It's all grassroots support.

It's true that the Democrats are becoming more like the GOP. They are taking corporate PAC money. Citizens United allowed for further corruption when it was already bad. The self-dealing was insider trading, which is illegal. Pelosi isn't getting direct payment as far as we know.

She's worth a quarter of a billion dollars with a salary of $200,000. She would have to put her entire salary in a saving account for 1,175 years to add up to her net worth. Pretty big sign she's doing some shady $hit. Each side tries to pretend they are morally superior to the other.

I wonder if he even had to bid? Just like how he is injecting his terrible AI into everything without govt bids.

But, if it was a reaaaal conflict, Elon would say something, riiight? Wink wink.

Deregulation is never for the benefit of regular folks. Regulations are written in our blood.

It's only a conflict of interest if there are people to enforce clear as crystal laws. MAGA wants everything to be unchallenged so they can live out their wild west fantasy. Because they're swampy af criminals.

pdew.bsky.social•58 days ago

It's not a conflic of interest. Musks owns the USA and musk owns starlink. I see no conflict.
Or are you suggesting you still believe you live in a democratic country?

Amazon stocks 1 week vs since 2008. We need to full stop

Republicans in Congress need to do something about Elon Musk. Americans hate him and his role in the Trump admin.

This is not good, have none of you ever seen a Bond film

I wonder what the idiots on Twitter are saying to convince themselves this is right. I’m so glad I left that platform.

snaps17.bsky.social•58 days ago

They just do what they want.

Oh, you don’t like the optics?

Trump and the Robber Barons 😆🤣😝😂😜😛😆🤣!

misterseed.bsky.social•58 days ago

He bought Trump. What do you expect.

mcdjtomorrows.bsky.social•58 days ago

Is America great yet?

soundsgoodtome.bsky.social•58 days ago

They should use a different satellite internet company

justicefourall.bsky.social•58 days ago

I’d keep musk miles away from anything to do with the FAA

rastarafikii.bsky.social•58 days ago

This is why he couldn’t care less about Tesla. He already controls the puppet strings to this administration.

capt-ed.bsky.social•58 days ago

I officially don’t want to fly anymore.

bill-hicks.bsky.social•58 days ago

That's the point, they want flying to be just for the rich again.

ironica.bsky.social•58 days ago

The weird thing is, they don't seem to realize that unsafe skies can't be made safe for *some* people. How are they going to keep some asshole's drone from colliding with their private jet without air traffic control?

bill-hicks.bsky.social•58 days ago

Personal aircraft, personal air traffic control.

ironica.bsky.social•58 days ago

That's like having your own traffic signals. Without an overall network that everyone is required to adhere to, there's not really anything anyone can do.

Musk gets a new $2B govt contract?
Wow... what a strange coincidence. 😗

Yes it's a conflict of interest but is anybody going to stand up and stop it

wholetree.bsky.social•58 days ago

...I love how with each new step towards a full fascist transformation of our country, the media keeps framing it as simply, "concern." The media is not up to the task of this moment. They will continue to try and walk the razor's edge, but will ultimately either capitulate, or go away.

ironica.bsky.social•58 days ago

The media are part of it. They're all owned by the oligarchy. They're here to reassure us that it's okay that we're being exploited and worse.
